Jonathan Roy + support: Portair

Jonathan Roy – singer, songwriter and son of the famous Canadian hockey player Patrick Roy – returns to Prague after his sold-out debut. He will perform on May 26th in Kasárna Karlín. Portair – musician and producer born in Sydney and living in Los Angeles – will perform as support.

Canadian singer Jonathan Roy grew up as a hockey player, being the son of sport legend Patrick Roy. But music played a central role in his mind: as a teenager he listened to the Backstreet Boys and John Mayer. In 2009, he debuted with the album What I've Become; three years later, his father helped him arrange a meeting with famed 80s singer Corey Hart, who contracted Jonathan at the Warner Music subsidiary he runs and sang a duet with him. Described by the Montreal Gazette as something between Ed Sheeran, Paolo Nutini and Bob Marley's greatest hits. Roy has since released many more albums – Found My Way (2010), La route (2011), Mr. Optimistic Blues (2017), My Lullaby (2021) and Life Distortions (2023).
